The new avatar is from a crit late last season.

The bike is ok. The hoods just slid down the bars from the impact, which caused my brakes to close. I wound up yanking them back in place enough that i could get rolling, but they were loose and low from the hit, so I stopped after I finished that lap to grab some tools. I had just put more carbon paste under the hood clamps last week when I changed the bar tape. At least the front wheel is ok and the bars didn't do something funny at the stem clamp. I am also glad the hoods moved and my injured shoulder didn't take the brunt of the impact. Plus, there was a nasty crash on the final lap of the race, so it was a good time to not be in it. Still, I missed out on scoring points for my collegiate team.
